True! I wanted to emphasize that "being online" (which the OP seems interested in) is not particularly important in itself, and that many interesting communities exist both online and offline.

Which, as you point out, can be simplified to "exist" ;)

I suppose I'm trying to emphasizes the contrast between those communities, which have a functional existence, with the community of NFT-holders, which exists only in the most literal sense of the word.
